Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

First Read has a preview of what is surrounding Rudy Giuliani's speech tomorrow to the Value Voters Summit:

Giuliani is facing a group that is actively opposed to him as the Republican nominee, and there will be little he can say to change their minds. He will not be trying to win votes -- but to quell talk of a third-party candidacy.

He will likely tout his leadership on 9/11 and how he cleaned up New York City. And he will say the key words “strict constructionist” to show he will do no harm as president. He will essentially paint his nomination as a foregone conclusion, and present himself as the more moderate alternative to another Clinton presidency.
